Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Q: What is the difference between Toyota AWD and 4WD?
    AWD is typically automatic and always active, making it ideal for road driving in rain or snow. 4WD is usually found on trucks and rugged SUVs, allowing the driver to manually 'lock' the wheels for heavy-duty off-roading or deep snow.
  • Q: Does AWD significantly lower my fuel economy?
    Modern Toyota AWD systems, especially the Electronic On-Demand AWD found in hybrids, are designed to be highly efficient, only engaging the rear wheels when traction is lost to save fuel.
  • Q: Can I find a used Toyota Camry with All-Wheel Drive?
    Yes! Late-model used Camrys (2020 and newer) frequently offer AWD, providing sedan lovers with the security of an SUV without sacrificing fuel economy.
  • Q: Do I still need winter tires if I have an AWD Toyota?
    While AWD helps you accelerate and stay stable on slippery roads, winter tires provide the necessary grip for stopping and turning in freezing temperatures. We recommend a combination of both for the best Chicago winter experience.
  • Q: Are all Toyota RAV4 models All-Wheel Drive?
    Many are, but not all. The RAV4 is available in both FWD and AWD. However, all RAV4 Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid (Prime) models come standard with Electronic On-Demand AWD.
  • Q: How do I test the AWD system during a test drive?
    While you can't always find snow for a test drive, our experts can show you the Multi-Information Display (MID) on newer models, which often shows the real-time power distribution to each wheel.
